..and there was more!

Yes the rumours were correct, more rain came over the weekend, as people who have stayed here with us in the past will recognise, the little seat at the bottom of the track was definitely not the place to sit and admire the view, in fact at its highest the seat was very nearly completely submerged.

Thankfully, as I write, the level is now back to normal!

Water everywhere!

Ok, I hold my hand up and say it's all my fault! A week ago in my last post I said how nice it was being able to sit out in the nice February sunshine for lunch,,since then, the heavens have opened resulting in the river Vezere being at it's highest that we've ever seen it since we moved here over 5 years ago. Reports have said that the level that was recorded at its peak in Montignac was 5 meters above normal, that's over 16ft. Bad news is they are expecting a lot more over this coming weekend, fingers crossed not too much more!
